Fitch Ratings has given Invest Bank (INB) its first Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of ‘BBB+’ with a Stable Outlook and Government Support Rating (GSR) of ‘bbb+’, placing the bank’s IDR at investment-grade, the bank stated on Tuesday. The rating is a significant turning point in the bank’s continuous transformation and offers unbiased acknowledgment of the advancements made in enhancing the bank’s financial standing, revitalizing its franchise, and setting it up for long-term, sustainable growth.
Fitch claims that Invest Bank’s Long-Term IDR is supported by sufficient capitalization, solid liquidity coverage, and increasing financial performance in addition to the anticipated government support. The Stable Outlook reflects the belief that the bank will execute its plan while maintaining sufficient capital and liquidity buffers.
The rating comes after the bank undertook a multi-year transformation initiative to improve operating performance, strengthen its balance sheet, improve governance, manage risk, and reposition the bank for long-term growth. The bank resumed profitability in 2025 after previous restructuring, and it has maintained this pace by methodical execution and a distinct strategic focus.
